Noonan: Mischievous Media Wants to Make Palin Face of GOP
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/26/2008 6:54:02 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Why does Sarah Palin continue to receive so much media coverage? Peggy Noonan has a theory. The Wall Street Journal columnist believes the MSM is up to what she considers "mischief": attempting to make Sarah Palin the face of the Republican party.

Noonan propounded her premise during an appearance today on Morning Joe.

That would be Peggy Noonan’s personal hell, wouldn’t it?

Noonan hates Palin. Noonan doesn’t understand real Americans and she has lost touch with the Conservative base. Noonan is useless at this point.

Didn’t Noonan dump on Palin before? Oh yes, she dumped on Palin when she though the microphone was dead. That was gutless.

“Mischief”?
Nice choice of words, since their behavior has been childish, anyway. ( The Pegster included.)

The MSM never misses a chance to trash Palin. Noonan is clueless.

Yes, and the NewsBusters article does contain a link to the video of Noonan’s hot mic remarks.

Same thing they wanted to do with Reagan. The Democrats wanted to run against him, too.

That didn’t work out too well for them, though.

When Sarah Palin made her first speech she said she wasnt going to Washington to please the Media.

That was the first shot that they considered as "throwing down the gauntlet" and the MSM hammerred her from that point on.

Im not saying its deserved or right, just that thats how they reacted. IMO

Noonan is a “has been” trying to be relevant. Send her to West Palm Beach, of Carmel Ca., she can dress up every weekend and spin her tales of better times.

Well, let's just say it this way:

"Peggy, we hope we can help you realize your worst fears about the GOP."

I hope it gets so "GOD" -ed up that all us unsophisticated hillbilly types who have these quaint ideas of freedom, rule of law, liberty, and morality... I hope those people come in droves and embarrass you so bad you never speak in the name of the GOP again.

One of the things I’m thankful for this Thanksgiving is no longer finding it necessary to read anything written by Kathleen Parker or Peggy Noonan :)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING MARK!

Thank you so much for all the time and effort you devote to keeping us informed!

Dear Peggy....The media, including you, wants to destroy Palin. The media hates that Palin is so popular. But everytime the media puts Palin on TV, their ratings skyrocket. Palin is popular because she represents the value of the man you once wrote speeches for, values which you seem to have long forgotten.

Peggy Noonan needs to go pound dirt. She cannot stand that Palin wasn’t “bred” and “groomed” from birth to be President, unlike so many other people. Noonan may have written great speeches for President Reagan, but President Reagan’s beliefs and principles were clearly the “meat” of the speeches. ALL Noonan has ever been and all she will ever be is window dressing.
